Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. (Romans 12:1–5 NIV)

Where would we be without the grace of God? Our need for God’s grace and his kindness toward us should lead us to humility and kindness toward others.

• Ask God to fill you with awe and wonder for his grace to you in Christ Jesus.

• Ask him to root out all pride in you and cultivate a humble heart of love in you.

• Pray that our unity, our humble acceptance of each other, would serve as a witness to those who see how we love each other.
